We are very pleased to welcome dogs to the cottages and, unlike many establishments, make no additional charges for accepting pets. This is the case because we are delighted to say that we have had little or no problems with the policy. We rely on you to keep up our faith in responsible dog owners and hope you have a great holiday with your dog. At Eastgate Cottages, Pickering and Grove House, Levisham Station, our over friendly Welsh Springer Spaniels, are often around and love the company of other dogs.
We provide a dog pack with blankets and towels and information on local dog walks in the cottage.

Places that you can take dogs with you:

Here are a few we know of:

The Fox and Rabbit

Pub on the road to Whitby (about 5 miles) good pub atmosphere with a limited foody menu.

The New Inn at Cropton

About 5 miles leave Pickering on the road to Helmsley and turn off to Rosedale through Wrelton. It has its own brewery –beware the ale is VERY strong

The Lion Inn at Blakey and the Feversham Arms

Are out on the Moors we’ve not visited either yet but handy if you’ve been out walking on the moors.

The Buck Inn in Thornton le Dale

Its right in the centre of the village allows dogs in the back bar area.

The Kings Head and the George and Dragon Hotels

At Kirkbymoorside both welcomes dogs and are both along the main street in Kirby.

The White Swan Hotel

In Pickering, on the main high street allows dogs at lunchtime when there is a bar menu available, a bit more upmarket and interesting than traditional pub food.

The Buck Inn Wrelton

About 2 miles out of Pickering on the Thrisk road (A170).

Menus available in the most of our cottages or in the main office at Pickering.
